rTorrent + RuTorrent + RSS plugin addon
I would like to request rTorrent + RuTorrent + RSS plugin.
Looks like uTorrent, it seems to me that this would be the best frontend for rTorrent and the best client bit-torrent.
frontend Web: http://code.google.com/p/rutorrent/
http://code.google.com/p/rutorrent/wiki/Plugins
Screen:

http://rutorrent.googlecode.com/svn/wiki/images/scr3_big.jpg
PS: Sorry for my poor English ;)
PS2: If it isn't problem add this plugin too:
1. RPC - a plug-in for linking rtorrent and a web server. (Replacement for mod_scgi).
or
20. HTTPRPC - Similar to RPC but with low bandwidth use in mind.
2. erasedata - adds "Delete with the data" to the right click context menu.
6. RSS - realizes operations with RSS-feeds.
10. cookies - allows to define a set of cookies for trackers which use such method of authorization.
14. datadir - allows to change the torrent's data directory.
21. Diskspace -- Shows remaining space on the bottom bar in an easy to read fashion.
23. _getdir Plugin -- this plugin helps rutorrent find and render directories.
25. Chunks -- This plugin shows info on torrent pieces (which pieces have downloaded).
3. darkpal - A ruTorrent Theme with dark colors designed to burn your eyes.
12. scheduler - allows to change speed limitations of downloads/uploads depending on hour of the day and day of the week.
18. Show_peers_like_wtorrent - changes the format of values in "Seeds" and "Peers" columns of the torrents list.
22. Unpack -- Unrars and Unzips downloaded torrents.

- majes1AspirantNo one is intrested with this addon ?
- WhoCares_MentorIf you think about building this add-on, I believe there would actually be some interest. Besides that, I think Transmission is a good alternative, already available and does most if not all of the things you want to do. And last but not least: Torrents are dead anyway ;)
-Stefan - majes1AspirantI think transmission has one big minus (for me), doesn't have RSS ;/
- WhoCares_Mentor
- majes1AspirantHmm, I will try this way, but I need a Transmission version 1.92, because tracker on which I have an account another version blocked.
- WhoCares_MentorYou'll have to ask Super Poussin whether he's still got an older version available. He should have ;) Other than that you'll most likely have to build your own add-on.
-Stefan - invader980Aspirant+1 for rutorrent + rss .... I WOULD LOVE to have this functionality on the readynas, thats what most seedbox providers use , the interface just works and dose pretty much everything . Im trying to like transmission as it works, but honsetly it not the same ... very limited to me .
think ill giver utorrent a try .... But PLEASE CONSIDER THIS , its the perfect addon to a readynas in my opinion - btaroliProdigy

I quite agree. I use Transmission + Automatic
and love it. Automatic does require a good deal of tweaking to get working fully, but once there it's flawless. I tend to agree that Transmission with baked-in RSS would be better. In general, I find that some add-ons fall over in their config UI. - invader980Aspiranttransmissions is ok.... no disrespect to the work put in to make it run on readynas... but my issue with it is not only the rssloader . On the standard 1gb ram (ultra 4) it runs my ram at 98%... with only a few other plugins running , I cant even get plex to let me add media to the library while transmissions is running , because of the struggle for ram (i know its upgradable), and it randomly pauses torrents on me . Not to mention i use a rpc tool to upload torrents and so far ive had 60% success with loading torrents. Most of the time it adds the torrent and starts using it and simply stops all activity only for that 1 torrent until reboot (of plugin). Why am i goin threw this to run a limited client i dont even like ?
Ive run into simmilar probs on mac aswell , just ignoring torrents untill i close and reopen tranmissions. Never have i heard of anyone having problems with rutorrent or getting it to do anything its designed to do , and its SOOO lightweight . Its a great interface and great set of tools ... i dont understand why its being backdoored because of all clients TRANSMISSIONS ? wtf lol
transmissions is more popular because it only provides the most basic of features so its easy to use, and installation is childsplay . I believe (opinion) thats the only reason its more popular. It like running bitcomet vs utorrent ? lol - btaroliProdigyWell, if it comes right down to it... These are "community" add-ons. If you desire it that much, then bring it. :-) I've never heard of this client anywhere but this thread, so maybe it would be worth the effort. But on my case it would be a question of don't fix what isn't broken. Years ago I suffered with the bundled BitTorrent add-on and Transmission, for all the small aches and pains (at the time, works great for me now) was a major step forward. Perhaps someone inspired enough to package ruTorrent as an add-on will bring something new and exciting to the table.
